Scientists investigate the natural world by posing questions,
developing hypotheses, designing experiments, analyzing data,
drawing conclusions, and communicating results.

Reinforce the chapter’s Big Idea by
connecting it to important Key Concepts.
For example, ask: What skills and
knowledge do physical scientists use to
study matter, energy, and the changes they
undergo? (Sample answer: Physical scientists
use the skills of observing, inferring, and
predicting and their knowledge of chemistry or
physics and mathematics.)

Processes used in inquiry include posing
questions, developing hypotheses, designing
experiments, collecting and interpreting data,
drawing conclusions, and communicating.
Scientists use models and develop laws and
theories to increase people’s understanding of
the natural world.

Line graphs are used to display data to see how
one variable (the responding variable) changes
in response to another variable (the manipulated variable).

A line of best fit emphasizes the overall trend
shown by all the data taken as a whole.

Good preparation helps you stay safe when
doing science activities in the laboratory or
the field.
When any accident occurs, no matter how
minor, notify your teacher immediately. Then,
listen to your teacher’s directions and carry
them out quickly.
